Info

Controlling symbolic link and alias processingTivoli Storage Manager treats symbolic links and aliases (aliases apply to Mac OSX only) as actual files and backs them up. However, the file referenced by thesymbolic link is not backed up. In some cases symbolic links and aliases can beeasily recreated and need not be backed up. In addition, backing up these symboliclinks or aliases can increase backup processing time and occupy a substantialamount of space on the Tivoli Storage Manager server.You can use the exclude.attribute.symlink option to exclude a file or a group offiles that are symbolic links or aliases from backup processing. If necessary, youcan use the include.attribute.symlink option to include symbolic links or aliaseswithin broad group of excluded files for backup processing. For example, toexclude all symbolic links or aliases from backup processing, except those thatexist under the /home/spike directory, enter these statements in your dsm.sys file:exclude.attribute.symlink /.../*include.attribute.symlink /home/spike/.../*Related reference“Exclude options” on page 312Use the exclude options to exclude objects from backup, image, or archive services.Compression, encryption, and adaptive subfile backupprocessingThis topic lists some items to consider if you want to include specific files orgroups of files for compression and encryption processing during a backup orarchive operation.vvYou must set the compression option to yes to enable compression processing. Ifyou do not specify the compression option or you set the compression option tono, Tivoli Storage Manager does not perform compression processing.Tivoli Storage Manager processes exclude.fs, exclude.dir, and otherinclude-exclude statements first. Tivoli Storage Manager then considers anyinclude.compression and include.encrypt statements. For example, consider thefollowing include-exclude list:exclude /home/jones/proj1/file.txtinclude.compression /home/jones/proj1/file.txtinclude.encrypt /home/jones/proj1/file.txtTivoli Storage Manager examines the exclude /home/jones/proj1/file.txtstatement first and determines that /home/jones/proj1/file.txt is excludedfrom backup processing and is, therefore, not a candidate for compression andencryption processing.v Include-exclude compression and encryption processing is valid for backup andarchive processing only.Related reference“Compression” on page 283The compression option compresses files before you send them to the server.Compressing your files reduces data storage for backup versions and archivecopies of your files. It can, however, affect Tivoli Storage Manager throughput. Afast processor on a slow network connection benefits from compression, but a slowprocessor on a fast network connection does not.Processing NAS file systemsUse the include.fs.nas option to bind a management class to NAS file systems andto control if Table of Contents information is saved for the file system backup.336 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX and Linux Backup-Archive Clients Version 6.1: Installation and User’s Guide
Note: Include.fs.nas does not apply to incremental snapdiff.A NAS file system specification uses the following conventions:v NAS nodes represent a new node type. The NAS node name uniquely identifiesa NAS file server and its data to Tivoli Storage Manager. You can prefix the NASnode name to the file specification to specify the file server to which the includestatement applies. If you do not specify a NAS node name, the file system youspecify applies to all NAS file servers.v Regardless of the client platform, NAS file system specifications use the forwardslash (/) separator, as in this example: /vol/vol0.Use the following syntax:►► pattern mgmtclassname toc=value ►◄ParameterspatternSpecifies the objects to include for backup services, to assign a specificmanagement class, or to control TOC creation. You can use wildcards in thepattern.mgmtclassnameSpecifies the name of the management class to assign to the objects. If amanagement class is not specified, the default management class is used.toc=valueSee “Toc” on page 423 for more information.For example, to assign a management class to the /vol/vol1 file system of a NASnode called netappsj, specify the following include statement:include.fs.nas netappsj/vol/vol1 nasMgmtClass toc=yesIncrbydateUse the incrbydate option with the incremental command to back up new andchanged files with a modification date later than the last incremental backupstored at the server, unless you exclude the file from backup. Files added at theclient after the last incremental backup, but with a modification date earlier thanthe last incremental, are not backed up.Recommendation: Files that are modified or created after their respective directorywas processed by the Tivoli Storage Manager client, but before theincremental-by-date backup completes, are not backed up and will not be backedup in future incremental-by-date backups, unless the files are modified again. Forthis reason, a regular incremental backup should be run periodically, withoutspecifying the incrbydate option.An incremental-by-date updates the date and time of the last incremental at theserver. If you perform an incremental-by-date on only part of a file system, thedate of the last full incremental is not updated and the next incremental-by-datewill back up these files again.Important:Chapter 10.
